Maui, Hawaii

These are snaps from my trip to Maui, Hawaii, in May 2010. I needed to head there for some photography, and since my wife found a screaming deal for everyone, we all went for the week.

I brought a Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 50mm f/1.8, Canon 28mm f/1.8 and Canon 100mm f/2 lenses. I also brought a 2005 Panasonic PV-GS120 3-CCD DV camcorder, all of which fit in a Think Tank Speed Demon bag I wore all day and night. I used one 32GB Lexar 600x CF card in my 5D Mark II, and started a new folder each day. I've been shooting on that same card for over a month, and it still has 20GB left on it. All my photos are thus also still on the card from both this trip as well as my New York trip.

I set my Canon 5D Mark II Auto White Balance and Amber 5 (A5) WB SHIFT. Picture Style was left at STANDARD, however saturation was set to +2 (people) or +3 (things). Most of these shots are exactly as they came out of the camera as JPGs. If I played with them, I'll mention it, if not, it's what I got out of the Canon 5D Mark II.
